60 Seconds with Patrícia and Alexandre from Passagem Gastronômica

Meet Patrícia and Alexandre Pizano, a couple passionate about food and travel blogging from Passagem Gastronômica! Brazilian living in London, while Patrícia is studying at Le Cordon Blue. Alex is doing photography courses and both will be attending FBC for the first time!

Join us in welcoming them to their very first FBC and hear a little more about Patricia and her little favourites.

Is blogging your full time job?

Blogging is not our day job. I am a lawyer and Alex in management, but we are currently studying. We would like to full time bloggers, but we are not sure if it would be possible considering that it is really hard to earn money in this industry.

What motivated you to blog and how has blogging changed your life?

We get inspiration from our travels and also from our experience dinning in restaurants all over the world, as well as in the cooking classes at Le Cordon Bleu.

What’s your signature dish?

It is a cookierecipe. It is in Portuguese but I can send a translated version if anyone would like.

Food hell to me is . . .

Food hell is paying a lot of money for a food that tastes ordinary.

How many cookbooks do you own? What attributes make a good cookbook for you?

We have around 20 cookbooks. We use the internet a lot to find recipes so we haven’t been buying as many books lately. The last one was Julia’s Child book. It is a good cookbook must be very detailed in the explanation of the recipe.

To achieve a successful blog what comes first – the dishes, the styling, the photography or the words?

The photography! It’s like eating, you eat with your eyes first.

Do you have a favourite kitchen tool/appliance?

We just love buying appliances for the kitchen. Our favourite one is my chef’s knife as well as my apple corer remover. We want to buy a processor for our kitchen, but we have too much already.
